We Know the Devil is a visual novel developed and published by Date Nighto. It was released on September 12, 2015 for Microsoft Windows and MacOS, before receiving a Steam release on February 15, 2016. On July 4, 2016, a separate art book titled The Art of We Know the Devil was published on itch.io by game artist Max Schwartz, followed by a March 19, 2017, itch.io release of the game, this time with a free supplementary demo serving the purpose of a prequel.

Runs well on modern hardware.

I think this is THE most incredible VN I've ever played. The characterisation is so beautiful. Their flaws and friendships and anger are so beautiful. The structure of the story, and how the mechanics play into the meaning toward the end of the game, are so well thought through. The mix of sketch art and photography, and the music in the background, give it such an eerie atmosphere. The queer storytelling made me cry. I love how more and more is revealed with every playthrough, and the various endings recontextualise everything that came before it. Really, REALLY good game.
This game is very well written and has interesting characters. Definitely worth replaying various routes. Even better if you have religious trauma, but still a great time if you don't.
